Police in Elad have arrested two local residents, aged in their 20s and 30s, on suspicion of involvement in a grenade attack on the city manager's home and the arson of an official's vehicle. The arrests followed an intensive investigation by officers from the Rosh HaAyin station who raided the suspects' homes overnight. The incidents began Tuesday when a stun grenade was thrown at the fence of City Manager Amnon Maximov's house. Shortly after, the vehicle of Shimon Suissa, head of Mayor Yehuda Butbul's office, was set on fire.
Law enforcement officials believe the attacks were a direct act of revenge for extensive municipal enforcement operations against illegal construction and public space violations. The suspects were taken for questioning at the Sharon District's Central Investigations Unit and have been detained. Police are expected to bring the two before the Magistrate's Court on Wednesday to request an extension of their detention as they continue to investigate the full scope of the incident and search for potential additional accomplices.
